Had my Anti D injection

I was off sick from work since wed , had the worse head ache and had a MW app on thursday afternoon, urine was fine BP a little high but she said nothing to worry about but could be cause of my head ache and just to rest so stayed home on friday as well. I finally after 5 weeks of having that lump under my arm and scared to death I was dying asked her what the hell it was and I am pleased to say it's a milk gland

I also had to have my bloods done again and she REALLY hurt I have had a few bloods done now and got my head round them as they don't really hurt but she went for a vien thats never been used before and it hurt so much and bleed so much, this then got me all worked up for the anti d as I was thinking I thought she was good with needles and if this hurt then what will the anti d be like.

She told me not to look at the needle (which did not help) and go and stand by the bed and bend over as she was going to put it in my bum, so I did that but I started to come over all hot and faint, then I felt her behind me and she said I will just help myself and pulled my bottoms down, at which point I freaked out and said I just cannot do this and worried I was going to bolt she just stuck it in me, it was over before I knew it and did not hurt at all!! The only thing is she did it in the side of my back rather than my bum check as she heard me say I cannot do this and wanted to get it in fast!

I had a huge brusie where the bloods were taken and nothing from my anti D!!! I have been in pain a little as well as Rose is laying so funny with her little bum right under my ribs on the right hand side and it's really painful, I have not been sleeping well because of it and my back has been really sore as well.

Awww!! Well I can definatley say your a lot stronger than me lol!! I had to have an anti d at about 14 weeks ish becuase of bleeding, she put it in my arm and it REALLY stung!!! :'( I must say I let the nurse know that I thought she should have told me just how much it was going to sting!! I think I must have made a bit of an impression lol because she remembers me on a first name basis every time I go back to the hospital now lol!

Oh bless her, well Lyn my MW was not my MW to start with but I did not like the ones I had before and a girl at my NCT class told me Lyn was wonderful with injections and I should go to her.

So I did and she is LOVELY and as I am hoping for a home birth she will be the lady who will deliver Rose but I must say the blood test really really hurt and I have never had one like that before, I really think it's becasue she went for aside vein thats not been done before.

The anti D I can hoensly say I never felt a thing and it was out as soon as it was in. I have spent since I was 18 weeks worrying about having that injection as well.

I heard the arm can be painful as well thats why I was pleased she said she was going to put it in my bum, only it ended up in my back due to be about to bolt!! LOL

at least your anti d is out of the way, can i ask why you were going to have it in your bum cheek? i thought it was in the arm? i have mine in about 7 weeks, i was really worried, but you say it didnt hurt so thats good. sorry to hear about your bloods being painfukl though, hopefully you wont need anymore taken?

Ashyashy1986 - Well I was told they are mainly done in your bum or leg though I have heard a few girls on here say they had it in the arm. I was told the more fat the better and a few girls said it really hurt in the arm so maybe ask her to go for the bum cheek. I honestly did not feel a thing just her sticking the needle in that was it so you will be just fine honey don't you worry at all ok .

I have got the worst needle phobia ever, and didn't get my first bloods done until 29 weeks whe I found out that I was RH negative, so missed my first dose of anti D. Had mine at 34 weeks in my arm and it stung like hell. I didn't get a choice to have it in my bum or leg Also had to have more bloods done that day cos they lost 2 lots of the first ones I was so angry cos they promised I only had to have one lot done. I had my hypnobithing midwife with me when I had the injection done which helped a little bit, but she wont be there if I have to have another one after the birth and I'm really scared I hated it so much x

I've had both of my anti d injections now. I'm used to needles due to an existing illness but these stung! The needle going in was fine, I never really feel them - it was the liquid that stung.

I might have to have a 3rd injection depending on who's blood the babies have taken. If it's mine, i'll need another one, if it's my oh's I won't! Fingers crossed for them having my partners blood! :lol:

I think i was so worked up that i felt it go in and thats all i felt. I must say she was very good when putting it in but I am not looking forward to having it again afer birth but with what we would have just been through it will be fine
